Bradley Boyd '27 Recruiting Profile

my name is Bradley Boyd. Currently summer, going into Junior year. Hampshire High School

As far back as I can remember, sports have been a part of my life. Anytime I bounced a basketball or swung a bat I found happiness and joy. My introduction to sports and athletics changed me for the better. Some people have little regard for sports and athletics. They ignore how difficult it is to participate in sports activities, or what that sport may offer a person. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, being a student-athlete has made me the person I am today, a person that I am really proud of.

Being an athlete taught me about hard work and dedication. I've learned that to be good at what you do, you can't just sit around and expect things to always go your way. I was never blessed with physical gifts, but I do put in extra work to make the team and be the best player I could be. In order to be a starter at my school, you had to earn it. This is in fact my team's motto "always earned, never given". Being an athlete required me to practice constantly, give 100 percent effort, and do extra training like going to the gym even when I didn't feel like it.

As a member of the team, I've learned that I am part of something bigger. It's not just about me and my needs. In order for me to be successful and for the team to be successful, teamwork is necessary to achieve a common purpose or goal. It has always been a dream to play college ball one day
